Perceptual lossless display power reduction

A system, comprising:

• a receiver configured to receive data for a video segment, the received data including display adaptation information for adapting one or more display parameters affecting display brightness and power consumption while saturating a portion of display pixels without perceptual loss;
• and
• a processor configured, during display of the video segment, to adapt at least one display parameter for a display based upon the display adaptation information from the extended header.

A method, comprising:

• formatting data for a video segment for transmission, the formatted data including
• display adaptation information for adapting one or more display parameters affecting display brightness and power consumption while saturating a portion of display pixels without perceptual loss, and
• one or more payload units containing data for displaying the video segment.

A system, comprising:

• a video server configured to format data for a video segment for transmission, the formatted data including
• display adaptation information for adapting one or more display parameters affecting display brightness and power consumption while saturating a portion of display pixels without perceptual loss, and
• one or more payload units containing data for displaying the video segment.
